What are reviews for anyway? –
This is my third iGeek camera and, I must say, they keep producing high quality and very usable products. Iâve had several different types of WIFI battery powered outdoor security cameras in the past and the two areas that make or break a good PIR camera are (1) the âintelligenceâ of the PIR motion sensing which triggers the recording and (2) the battery life. I had Netgearâs Arlo system with 5 cameras and each one took 4 CR123 lithium batteries. The motion detection would trigger with insects, rain drops, shadows, change in sunlight levels and every manner of things whilst often human motion would be ignored completely. And each trigger event just kept draining the batteries. So I was lucky to get 4 weeks out of a set of batteries with all the false positives. And at ÂŁ25 for a new set of batteries for all 5 cams, Arlo became a very expensive project.Fast forward to this iGeek camera, for c. ÂŁ90 you get intelligent motion detection which does not do false positives and hence, the battery lasts. I havenât had it long enough to test the claims of 180 days battery life but the fact it is rechargeable means it costs next to nothing to run. And add a cheap solar panel – plug it into the iGeek and thatâll keep it charged up indefinitely.The setup is very straightforward, the image quality is full HD 1080p and the dual antennae mean that itâs range is much further than other WiFi cameras. The app is simple to use and monitor all your cameras through the one app.Overall a great little camera which easily betters the big-boy competitors – oh and you donât need a pesky hub – it just connects directly to your WiFi router.

Firstly the camera came on time, really well packed. Unboxing it and lifting it out I realised it was a decent bit of kit. Solid to feel, not flimsy at all. The wall mount is metal which was a surprise for the price.Set up, others have said it takes 5 minutes, and I have to agree. Really simple, download the app from either play store or apple store. Register, find the device, sync it and then you can pop in your Wi-Fi password scan the QR code and Bob’s your uncle.Picture Quality. I’d seen some in the reviews and was a little sceptical but honestly, they are a true reflection of the quality. We have it facing down our driveway and it is clear all the way to the bottom, (around 20/25m). It works fantastically well in low light and seems to amplify the ambient light enhancing the image, night vision is clear and still makes out everything we need.Microphone. This is a nice feature although not sure if I’ll use it a great deal but like the fact that I can listen in if I want. Did notice the microphone picks up wind noise although not a big deal (it was quite windy).The App. Fairly easy to navigate, and if you turn phone to landscape the picture fills the screen (or at least it does on my phone)Motion Detection. I have left it on default which is 8 (out of 10) and it picked me up but a cat walked past and it didn’t detect that.Memory. I added a Micro SD card to it rather than the cloud, simple to install and should do the trick. Charging via a USB so not a issue.Overall really impressed with the build quality, feels solid and has a nice weight to it. Picture quality is excellent and the push notifications is a great feature. The App is fairly easy to use and I liked the fact it told me where I had good & bad signal for the Wi-Fi.Would recommend.Update product no longer works.

Nice up grade on previous model. Light and alarm work well. Easy to set up and easy to use. Have two front and back of house, battery life is good

Camera arrived quickly and was very well packaged. Easy instructions to follow for camera setup and connecting to the WiFi. It feels a very robust camera for it’s size. The App is very easy to use, the battery life is very good as the camera has been up a couple of weeks now and it has not used alot of battery life which is a massive bonus. Also a good idea to be able to monitor the battery life from the App and also the alert when it gets to 20% is excellent.It seems to be keeping a good connection to the WiFi in light of where we have installed the camera which is fantastic, previous ones we have had have lost their connection, this seems to be keeping good connection so far it will help having the 2 adjustable ariels enabling a stronger signal strength.Recording movement from a Micro SD card and Cloud option is a bonus. The picture is great quality day and night, the images are crisp and clear. The 130° angle lens is a bonus for a wide coverage. The PIR motion detection is great as there are no false alarms that I have had with other camera’s in the past.I would highly recommend buying this camera. I have had camera’s in the past and this tops them for getting high quality for the price this is a great CCTV camera.

I wanted a reasonably priced security camera for the front of my property. Having had Ring devices at a previous address, I didn’t want to keep having to charge batteries and paying a monthly subscription.The iegeek camera is light, very easy to install and set up. The picture quality day and night is excellent and I get alerts that someone has called when I am not at home.Highly recommend this piece of kit. In addition, there’s a two year warranty, and customer service by email is superb. A function I needed was not apparent, but on sending an email, I got a reply and a screenshot of how to access the function the same day. Very impressive.

We live in a fairly safe, rural area but break-ins have risen over the last couple of years. We decided we needed a security camera to provide peace of mind. The thing is, my hubby is an IT guy and usually sorts out all these techie gizmo’s, so he wasn’t too happy about me ordering this without his approval…Anyway, he likes it. We both think it’s great. We’ve ordered a 128gb SD card from Amazon for ÂŁ15.99 (we’re currently using a much smaller one just so we both have access to the ‘history’ on the camera).The picture is fab, it connected to our router easily and it covers our whole garden, the picture quality is superb..!. The intercom system is very handy too. We have the app set up on both phones (1 x Apple & 1 x Samsung) which means we’ll both get motion detection alerts whilst away from home and it’s great that you can differentiate over human & other motion alerts. We’re looking forward to checking out the night vision as we get lots pf wild life in the garden & this should negate the need for our existing trail cam.We’re so impressed we’re thinking of ordering another for the front of the property instead of a camera doorbell.This is a really good quality piece of equipment, which is easy to set up with comprehensive instructions & excellent value for money. We’d highly recommend and it’s definitely given us the added security & peace of mind we were after.Edit: We’re so impressed with this camera we purchased a 2nd one today for the front of our property.
Kindle Customer –
I bought a camera from ieGeek in April 2023, recieved it promptly, set it up easily and it was great. Fast forward to June 2024 and it stopped working so I contacted them. They guided me through the process of resetting it but we still could not get it to work so they offered to send me a brand new one FREE OF CHARGE without even having to return the old one. The best service I have ever had……and even after 15 months!
Mr. John Gluyas –
Delivered on time excellent product.
John Carden –

Also they needed Amazon sales reference.After that they where fantastic sent me a new Camera and Solar panel through Amazon. This is the best After sales service I have come across ina very long time.Great product and fantastic company. Would happily recommend.

I bought this camera off the back of the fact that the other two I bought by the same company just do the job. It’s as simple as that. Technology frustrates me a lot. But these I have had no bother with at all.I have already reviewed the Android App regarding the previous cameras so I’ll keep this short.SOFTWARE.What can I say, the set up is child’s play. Basically download the app, add the camera you have, which is shown in pretty pictures rather than words. Add your wi fi password, up pops a QR code on your phone and simply point it at the camera and wait for the jingle sound.Hey Presto, the camera is set up and done. Now just systematically go through the meus and see what it can do. There are slighty different detection tabs with this camera to the smaller models I have. Notibly and probably better detection settings specifically for night and day juman detection. If you want to add another model, to the software you simply press the plus tab and do the above. Done in seconds rather than minutes.SETTING UP THE CAMERA.This is a much bigger camera than the smaller models. Therefore the fixings do not have the optional magnetic attachment. The noticeable difference with this model is the wi fi antennas. As an example I have a small house and the position of the front and back way cameras are set exactly at the same distances from the router. The signal strength on this model is 70% compared to the smaller model at only 47%. So a good improvement there. The mount fixing screw is different to the smaller models, see image, and allowed me to do this while stretching out the window and manipulating it one handed. Compared to the fixing given for the smaller cameras which have a grub type screw that requires both hands to fix it while holding the camera. This fixing is let down only by the plastic tightening washer to the camera back. You really need that tight and I managed to rip out the threads on it. Only hand tighten it, do not use pliers! Ironically the smaller cameras have a metal washer, so I had a spare and fixed that tight before mounting using pliers. The image shows the smaller metal fixing attached.FINAL NOTESThings to think about before you start! Don’t forget to put in an mini SD card first! Don’t be a silly billy like me. I got it all up and had to take it down again.Mount the camera in a place you can easily access it. When it rained a few small droplets landed on the lense area. The glass in front is flat so no issues with a quick wipe down.Not really any bad points apart from the screw issue, it needs to be metal on this heavier camera. The mount is also on the back so it projects much further out, away from the wall so mounting it under an eve will not give it any extra protection against Sun glare and rain. But it is fully water proof anyway. The camera is less descreet than the small ones. This can be a good or bad issue. Could make it harder to place a cage over it. The tiny rubber feet on the bottom of the camera came out easily while I was twisting the camera on. Might be worth taking those out then reapplying.Only time will tell regarding longevity. Still for now 5 stars.
